The vice president of Argentina once once more targeted María Eugenia Capuchetti, whose continuity at the head of the case she considered “unsustainable.”

Days following the challenge presented by her lawyers, the former president stated that it is «the continuity of the judge is unsustainable [María Eugenia] Capuchetti at the head of the investigation.

“In this four minute and four second video, you will learn regarding the new and very serious irregularities of the non-investigation of Judge Capuchetti,” the vice president wrote on her Twitter account.

The material that Fernández shared reveals details of the “irregularities” that prompted her to request that the magistrate withdraw from the case. The voice-over of journalist Julia Mengolini reveals the dark points of the judicial investigations.

«The investigation started very badly. A few hours following the attack—committed on September 1—and under Capuchetti’s custody, the contents of Capuchetti’s cell phone were destroyed and erased. [Fernando] “Sabag Montiel, the murderer who fired the gun 15 centimeters from Cristina’s face,” Mengolini says in the video.

The media, judicial and political track

He also maintains that Capuchetti’s sister “worked in the listening area of ​​the Counterintelligence Directorate during the same period in which the illegal espionage took place” for which former president Mauricio Macri is accused.

The complaint also mentions that the judge, “following a meeting between judges and chambermaids”would have received “indications regarding how the case should be treated in the media and possible lines of investigation.”

According to the material presented by the former president, Carrol would have traveled abroad with the chief of staff of the Intelligence Directorate (under Macri’s management), headed by the then Secretary of Security, Gerardo Milman,” whom Cristina Fernández de Kirchner denounced. as a possible political instigator of the assassination attempt.

“On August 31, one day before the attack, he presented a request for reports to know the functioning of the custody of the vice president and her family, the number of agents and vehicles assigned to each of their homes.”
“Why did Milman want to have access to such sensitive information regarding Cristina’s safety?”he questioned, and the answer was: “We still don’t know because Capuchetti never investigated it.”

The United States Supreme Court on Wednesday took up the question of criminal immunity invoked by Donald Trump, further postponing the federal trial of the former president for attempting to illegally reverse the results of the election of 2020.

Targeted by four separate criminal charges, the big favorite in the Republican primaries for the November presidential election is seeking through his multiple appeals to go to trial as late as possible, in any case following the vote.

The trial of the former Republican president for illicit attempts to reverse the results of the election won by Democrat Joe Biden was initially scheduled to begin on March 4.

But the entire procedure was suspended while the question of criminal immunity claimed by Donald Trump was decided by the courts.

On February 6, a federal appeals court ruled out this criminal immunity. Donald Trump therefore turned to the Supreme Court to obtain a suspension of the entry into force of this decision.

Special prosecutor Jack Smith, who is investigating the case, on the contrary urged the Supreme Court to reject this suspension request.

He also recommended that she not take up the issue, but if she ever did, to set an accelerated timetable so that in the event of a definitive rejection of Donald Trump’s criminal immunity, “the trial can be held with a reduced additional time”.

In its decision on Wednesday, the Supreme Court partly satisfied Donald Trump by not allowing the appeal decision to take effect until it had ruled itself.

By scheduling the debates for “the week of April 22”, she on the other hand grants the special prosecutor’s request for an early deadline.

But most legal and political commentators emphasized Wednesday evening that it was a success for Donald Trump’s delaying strategy, since the Supreme Court’s decision further reduces the chances that the trial might take place before the election presidential, even if the nine judges rejected his immunity.

If he were elected once more, once inaugurated in January 2025, he might order a halt to federal proceedings once morest him.

The person also welcomed this decision on his Truth Social network. “Without presidential immunity, a president will not be able to exercise power properly or make decisions in the interests of the United States,” he reiterated.

In his written arguments, Jack Smith underlined the “unique national importance of this criminal case”, in which a former president is “criminally prosecuted for having attempted to remain in power by preventing the legitimate winner of the election from taking his functions”.

Donald Trump’s defense claims “absolute immunity” for his actions committed while he was in the White House. She cited Supreme Court case law from the 1980s regarding civil suits once morest former President Richard Nixon.

“For the purposes of this criminal case, former President Trump has become Citizen Trump, with the same protections as any other defendant. But any immunity under the executive power, which might have protected him when he was president in office, no longer protects him once morest these prosecutions,” the three appeal judges wrote in their unanimous decision.

Laval Rocket Dominates Bridgeport Islanders: Dobes Records Shutout in 4-0 Victory

After a frustrating outing at home once morest the Toronto Marlies last weekend, the Laval Rocket set the tone for their three-game road trip with a 4-0 victory over the Bridgeport Islanders on Wednesday.

This result allows the Montreal Canadiens farm club to post 53 points in the standings, which occupies sixth place in the North division, two points behind the Rochester Americans and one place in the playoffs. Above all, it boosts the morale of the team which had suffered two consecutive losses at Place Bell once morest the Marlies.

Ruslan Iskhakov had the first good scoring chance of the game, midway through the first period, but his shot ended up off the post.

Defenseman William Trudeau committed a turnover that allowed the Islanders to go two-on-one a few minutes later, but they were unable to get a good shot.

Tyce Thompson thought he had scored the first goal of the game, during a power play, by recovering a puck near the goaltender and pushing it into an abandoned cage with 13:56 left in the middle period. The referee, however, called a halt to play before Thompson shot towards the net.

The Rocket opened the valves in Bridgeport during the middle period thanks to four goals and they can obviously thank their goalkeeper Jakub Dobes for this victory. The goaltender stopped 35 pucks for the first shutout of his American League career.

“I try to be at my best every game,” Dobes said. Everyone did a good job. It was a team victory. »

“We try not to think regarding it,” said Paquette-Bisson regarding maintaining the shutout for his goalie at the end of the match. I would say that we didn’t give him that easy (his shutout) in the third period. He made some very good saves. »

Well positioned in front of Ken Appleby’s net, Philippe Maillet vibrated the strings in the upper part in the ninth minute of the second period. Just 34 seconds later, Jared Davidson jumped on a return shot from Tobie Bisson to give the Rocket a cushion.

Jan Mysak made a nice climb into offensive territory moments later. He spotted Filip Cederqvist and it was the latter who made the red light sparkle. Emil Heinement put the finishing touches on Appleby’s night with his 10th goal of the campaign for the Rocket.

This second goal allowed in 20 seconds, and the fourth on 25 shots, sent Appleby to the bench and Henrik Tikkanen entered the game. He made six saves.

“We had contribution from all four lines,” said Rocket head coach Jean-François Houle. It wasn’t always perfect, but Dobes made some big saves to keep us in the game. I think we gave a few too many chances, but in attack we were opportunistic. »

“I’m happy that we found the back of the net five on five,” added Houle. We found some chemistry with different players and made some good zone entries that allowed us to score big goals, something we hadn’t seen in the last two games. »

Mattias Norlinder returned to the game for the Rocket, completing the third defensive pair with Quebecer Olivier Galipeau. Norlinder hit the post in the second period, during a great offensive surge by the Rocket.

Jean-François Houle’s men will continue their trip with stops in Hartford on Saturday to face the Wolf Pack and in Springfield on Saturday for a confrontation with the Thunderbirds.
